THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. CHRISTOPHER RANSDELL, Appellant.

Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. Contrary to defendant's claim, the police reasonably concluded from all the circumstances that the victim's exclamation "That's him!", made while pointing to defendant, was based on personal knowledge ( see, People v. Wearing, 246 A.D.2d 404, lv denied 91 N.Y.2d 946). The court did not constructively amend the indictment by charging that the People needed to prove only that defendant had entered the building, rather than the specific apartment where the victim resided where the court's burglary charge did not vary from the indictment ( People v. Perry, 226 A.D.2d 282, lv denied, 88 N.Y.2d 940; People v. James, 204 A.D.2d 180, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 827). We do not read the People's voluntary disclosure form as limiting the theory of prosecution ( see, People v. Medina, 233 A.D.2d 927, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 926).

Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Rubin, Tom and Saxe, JJ.
